ICD10 code of Behcet Syndrome and ICD9 code

Behcet's syndrome, also known as Behcet's disease, is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, and inflammation in various parts of the body. The ICD-10 code for Behcet's syndrome is M35.2. This code falls under the category of "systemic connective tissue disorders" and is used to classify and document the diagnosis of this condition in medical records.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Behcet's syndrome is 136.1. However, it should be noted that the ICD-9 code set has been replaced by the ICD-10 code set since October 1, 2015. The transition to ICD-10 allows for more detailed and specific coding, which aids in accurate diagnosis, treatment, and research of various medical conditions, including Behcet's syndrome.

It is important for healthcare professionals to properly document and use the correct ICD-10 code when diagnosing and treating patients with Behcet's syndrome, as it ensures accurate medical coding, billing, and statistical reporting.
